Action of Man Depicts Hope and Fear
It is related from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) that he said, “A believer cannot have belief till both fear and hope are present in him. Nor can he be called as fearful and hopeful till he makes it evident in his actions.”
(al-KÄfi)
Man’s psyche should contain a perfect balance of fear and hope. It is related from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.):
“Hakim LuqmÄn (r.a) advised his son in his will. ‘If your deeds equal the good deeds of all men and Jinns, together, you must expect that you may yet be punished by Him. And you must hope in Allah so much that even if you carry the burden of the total sins of men and jinns, and approach Allah for forgiveness, He will pardon you.’
(al-KÄfi)
